Product Details:

Our Harmony Convertible Bag is carefully crafted with top-grain leather, the most common part of the hide. This leather is sanded down and imprinted with an artificial grain to give a perfectly uniform stain. This sustainable leather handbag is a uniform color, soft, slouchy and extremely lightweight.

Created by our artisan partner Don Vicente and Ofelia in a small home workshop, your purchase supports our sustainable project to provide dignified job opportunities to indigenous artisans in Guatemala.

Features:

Convertible style with removable straps for a comfortable wear three different ways! Includes matching leather cross body strap and a pair of backpack straps.

No two bags are the same! Hiptipico prides itself on uniqueness and authenticity. Every Hiptipico product is 100% handmade and has the human touch of the weaver and maker in each stitch. This makes our products uniquely charming and distinct from factory-made accessories. No two are exactly the same and imperfections are to be expected and appreciated.

Community Impact:

Hiptipico leather bagsare crafted and designed by localartisans in small home workshops. These artisanal workshops are indigenous-owned and purchasing items with these vendors supports a small local business, motivates local entrepreneurial spirits and stimulates the local economy.

Hiptipico bags are crafted using sustainable leather. We are conscious to source from leather providers that have sustainable practices and view leather as a byproduct of the meat industry. This prevents future waste and utilizes all parts of the animal.
